Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madame Qiao drove away Qiao Wei and she smiled. “You’re right, Old Master. It would be foolish for Qiao Xuan to stay with the Yuezheng Family. It would only bring disrespect and disdain upon us.”
County Magistrate Qiao was startled, and he could no longer keep the composure.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan pa.s.sed by the county but did not even greet them, though they did not want to cause them trouble. They did not even inform them where and how to reach each other in the province.
If Qiao Xuan went into the Yuezheng Family with her whole family, she was just being so rude and she would be disliked.
The Yuezheng Family would mock them and hate them.
First Madame would not like her any more.
How ridiculous!
County Magistrate Qiao, however, still tried to self console. “Xuan and her husband are still too young to understand what they should do… they may have forgotten to tell us.”
“I think her husband should have the basic rules about how to socialize with each other. They should not just go to the Yuezheng family like this. Go and meet them when you are in province together.”
If Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were in a good relationship with them, Madame Qiao should have all the reason to visit the Yuezheng Family, since she was the lineal mother of the family.
Madame Qiao sneered. She had lost interest in the County Magistrate’s words.
He just wanted to save his own face and made himself convinced.
Just wait and see…
She wondered what made Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan so precious that her husband defended them all the time?
Qiao Wei felt even worse as her frustration grew. She couldn’t help but vent her frustrations to her mother. “Mom, is Dad out of his mind? Qiao Xuan, that wretched woman, is playing games with us, and yet Dad still defends her? What on earth has she done to him?”
Madame Qiao sneered in response and turned to Qiao Wei. “Wei, I have found a suitable suitor for you. You need to work hard and secure a promising future for your husband so that you can completely overshadow Qiao Xuan!”
Qiao Wei remained puzzled by her father’s actions, but Madame Qiao seemed to have a better understanding of the situation.
It became clear to Madame Qiao that her husband’s favorable treatment towards Qiao Xuan stemmed from his belief in Shao Yunduan!s potential for a prosperous future. However, such predictions were never certain.
The next morning, Madame Qiao, accompanied by Qiao Wei, Qiao Kou, and Concubine Du, embarked on their journey to the province. Madame Qiao always made sure to bring Qiao Kou whenever matters concerning Qiao Xuan were involved. When neither Qiao Wei nor Madame Qiao held a proper position, it was Qiao Kou who would be forced to step forward and take charge.
As for Concubine Du, Madame Qiao had no intention of leaving her alone with County Magistrate Qiao. Concubine Du understood Madame Qiao’s motives, and her resentment towards the situation only deepened.
Qiao Kou was filled with excitement when she received the invitation to travel to the province.
Upon their arrival in the evening, they settled into a nearby hostel.
Madame Qiao purposely selected a hostel that was in close proximity to the Yuezheng Family.
Meanwhile, Qiao Xuan and her family had already moved into the mansion located in the alley. The mansion had always been well-maintained by the Yuezheng Family, and upon learning of their arrival, thorough cleaning had been done to ensure a fresh and welcoming atmosphere.
The entire family was in awe of the magnificent mansion.
“Wow, this is our house? Oh my G.o.d, this is the province we’ve been talking about! “
